   If you’re ever in Charleston, this is a must-visit spot! The roasted mushrooms appetizer and the short ribs entrée were absolutely incredible—perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. My family and I also enjoyed an array of other dishes, including the unique Swordfish Schnitzel, the rich and tender Steak Au Poivre, and a perfectly creamy Spaghetti Carbonara. We ended our meal on a high note with the decadent “Some More” dessert. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. If I return to Charleston, this place will be at the top of my list!

   This was our second time visiting Tempest and it was a as wonderful as the first. Service on Christmas Eve was top notch, from the server to the manager and everyone in between. The food was delicious, especially the short rib and the flounder. What else can I say? Get to Tempest and you won’t be disappointed!

   We arrived late into town due to an hour long traffic hazard delay and we’re worried about getting a reservation to a great restaurant. We were able to dine at Tempest and it was incredible! We had the tuna crude which was very good but the showstopper was the Swordfish Schnitzel with warm tartar sauce with trout roe. I/we are known as foodies-originally from California Bay Area! My husband said this was by far the best swordfish he had ever eaten! I agreed but was trying to identify the ingredients to prepare at home. We shared a bottle of wine and had the Some-More for dessert. Fabulous! Our server Dalton and his shadowing trainee, Megan were amazing as well! Truly a beautiful restaurant and amazing experience!, Do not miss it when in Charleston!

   The food is awful, oily and salty, 0 stars. Worst experience ever. Server was friendly, and the location is good.

   We were upstairs and it was so loud you couldn’t have a conversation. Three large parties were seated upstairs and they shouldn’t have seared anyone else up there. We literally had to shout. An older couple near us got up and left

   We told them it was our anniversary and they brought out champagne ($5 charge) and at the end they did a complimentary carnation and brandy tasting. It was the perfect spot for celebrating our anniversary. We also enjoyed signing the tempest book our check was brought in! It really commemorated the moment.
